Two Radios and a Terminal: Building a LoRa Command Line
Off the grid... No Wi-Fi. No cellular. No internet. But the machine is still out there, and we still need to talk to it. In this talk, I'll show you how I built a remote outpost that can be monitored and controlled from miles away using LoRa: a Low-power Radio technology designed for sending small amounts of data over surprisingly long distances...( well, in this example maybe nearer rather than farther) Along the way we'll look at how LoRa actually works, its strengths and limitations, and decisions involved in building software for a connection that is slow, constrained and occasionally unreliable.
